Juventud La Boca2 - 0Cooperativa San Telmo

Juventud La Boca settled matters at home with authority against Cooperativa San Telmo and took the first three points of the matchday with a 2-0 win that left no room for debate. The home side controlled the tempo to suit themselves, imposing a balanced 4-4-2 that found in Alexis Beizama the chief executor in attack. The forward from Comodoro Rivadavia, just twenty-two years old, scored one of the goals and was the main attacking threat over the ninety minutes. Ariel Naranjo in the home goal barely had anything to do: Faustino Pirelli, a thirty-three-year-old forward who brought experience from Cooperativa San Telmo, never managed to seriously trouble the goalkeeper with a 7.7 rating.

Juventud La Boca's defensive work was solid. Silvio Duarte at left-back and Rafael Bravo on the right carried out their holding roles without any major scares, although both picked up yellow cards. Giuliano Bassi in midfield, with a 7.2 rating, organised the play without fuss but with good judgement. Cooperativa San Telmo looked to press on but without intensity; Faustino Aguirre at right-back tried to offer something going forward without finding any depth, and Adrián Piñero in the visitors' goal also had little to do. The visitors' balanced 4-4-2 did not find the spaces or the clarity needed to cause problems.

What is clear is that Juventud La Boca have home resources to compete in this Primera I GBA Sur. Beizama looks promising; Naranjo gives a sense of security; midfielder Bassi understands the timing. For Cooperativa San Telmo, Pirelli — a veteran who does not light things up as much as his years might suggest — and a general team that lacked penetration across the board. A solid debut for the home side; for the visitors, the need to respond immediately.
